We Place Our Knowledge Above His…..

When you really think about what the Bible says about God’s character, there’s no reason to stand in opposition of Him. Yet our rebellious, stubborn, and prideful nature, doesn’t want to be told what to do. The irony of it all is that our nature robs us of getting the best here on earth. If God is just and fair, if He is faithful and does no wrong, then why would we not want to listen to Him? I mean we all have a sense of justice deep inside us. We all want to be treated equally. We all never want to be wronged. The problem lies not with God, but with us. Our interpretation of fair and just doesn’t always match up with God’s view of fair and just, for He has all the facts and complete insight on the issues, we don’t. So our evaluation of a situation is incomplete, while His is 100% accurate. His judgements are accurate and precise. The saddest part of our sinful human nature is that we place our incomplete knowledge above His fair, just, and complete knowledge of a situation, that allows Him to make accurate decisions. We are not God, so we should stop trying to replace Him in our lives. We are made whole, complete, and fulfilled only when we do what we were created to do. And that is surrender to His will. It’s only then that we truly begin to live, and life begins to make more sense. God is good, you have to learn to trust Him over attempting to satisfy yourself without Him.

4 He is the Rock; His deeds are perfect.Everything He does is just and fair.He is a faithful God who does no wrong;how just and upright He is! 5 “But they have acted corruptly toward Him;when they act so perversely,are they really His children?They are a deceitful and twisted generation.6 Is this the way you repay the Lord,you foolish and senseless people?Isn’t He your Father who created you?Has He not made you and established you? Deuteronomy 32:4-6

47 These instructions are not empty words–they are your life! By obeying them you will enjoy a long life in the land you will occupy when you cross the Jordan River. Deuteronomy 32:47
